Summary "Buchanan's Journal of Man, September 1887" by Joseph R. Buchanan is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The journal presents various topics related to anthropology, philosophy, and human health, reflecting Buchanan's exploration of cerebral science, longevity, and social concerns of the era. The opening portion indicates a critical perspective on contemporary philosophies, particularly those linked to Aristotle and Hegel, while advocating for a modern understanding of human science. The opening of the journal begins with a critique of traditional philosophy and its practitioners, particularly targeting the Concord School's adherence to antiquated teachings. Buchanan emphasizes the need for a more scientific approach to understanding humanity, articulating his belief in the importance of anthropology and the new sciences that have emerged. He introduces ideas on longevity and human health, underscoring the impact of education and lifestyle on life expectancy. Additionally, the discussions around human perception and the functioning of the brain hint at a deeper exploration of psychological studies that Buchanan proposes to advance, positioning himself as a challenger to established norms in philosophy and science.
